Do I have a DCS 100 problem?

[cmrproducts]

The system may be in stand-by mode, power to track is on but not sending DCC packets.

Turn off track power and then turn it on again (DT100) press and hold the Run/Stop button and then press the + plus button.

If all else fails do a OP sw39 reset to the DCS100

You might consider joining the Digitrax Yahoogroup, I have found a wealth of assistance and ideas there.

Neither 00 nor 03 nor (gr) anything else runs on DCC. I tried engines 01, 02 and 03 and a no-decoder engine. All three Bachman Spectrums. I'll check on the light. Thanks!

Can you run a non-decodered engine using address 00? Or, with everythign off the track, select address 00 on one of your throttles and advance the speed to full - in one direction the track status LED should turn more red then orange, and in the other direction it should turn more green than orange. This would indicate that the DCS100 is receiving the commands and adjusting track output accordingly.

The sound engines wouldn't happen to be BLI's, would they? They may have lost their minds, so to speak, and gone back to default addresses - try running one using address 03 and see if it goes.

Symptoms: engines with decoders sit on track and chuff, idle, blow off steam but will not move.
Digitrax Chief system, a few years old. New layout last six months. Everything was fine Thanksgiving.
I have a DT100 throttle tethered and a DT400R throttle: both register their respective engines and show power.
The DCS100 has steady orange Track Status and of course power. Net indicator is flashing so network is functional.
Nothing moves!
Bypass DCS100 and insert a standard trnsformer and the non-DCC engines work fine.
Any ideas?
